Online Casino:
Alternatives to credit card deposits

While
no on e would argue that credit cards are considered the easiest
and most convenient method of deposit at the online casino,
there are some alternatives that may help funding your casino
account, when the credit cards are not an option. While all
online casinos claim that they accept credit cards, the actual
success rate of deposits via those methods will vary
drastically, not only between casinos, but at different times at
the same online casino. Since the casino websites use a number
of credit card processors to complete your transaction,
sometimes even at the same casino you could be able to deposit
once and then find yourself declined. In cases as those and
similar ones, we will take a look at some of the alternatives
the online casinos offer to the credit card deposits.

There are two major types of credit card
alternatives - the money order and the ewallet. Let's talk
briefly about the money order, then we will take a look at some
of the more popular ewallets. The money orders are quite easy to
use and more online casinos are adding them to their
lists of cashier options. They are basically Western Union or
Money Gram transactions that players send using information
supplied by the casino. While very convenient, since both
Western Union and Money Gram offer the option to send money
through their websites, rather than going to a retailer
location, the fees are very high and should be used only when
the online casino will actually reimburse your fees. Otherwise
one is much better off simply using the ewallets.

Speaking of ewallets, let's see what's
available out there. First, for those who are just getting into
the whole online gambling thing, the ewallets are simply
middlemen between you and the online casino. A perfect example
is the most popular ewallet of them all - PayPal. Unfortunately,
only a couple of UK casinos at this time offer PayPal deposits,
but there are other ewallets working with the internet gambling
industry one can use to fund their casino account.

MSTGiftCards is among the more popular ones
and is currently utilized by some of the casinos on our
Best Online
Casinos list, for example,
Vas Vegas USA,
Vegas Casino Online and
Old Havana Casino, to name a
few. The ewallet is specific to those casinos, which ensures
safety and security of your personal information. It works in
the form of a voucher, where the casino will supply you with the
information of how to purchase your voucher using a credit card
of your choosing and then use the voucher to buy chips at the
casino. A pretty straightforward alternative method if your
credit card deposit doesn't go through for some reason. Keep in
mind, again, that MST Gift Cards work only with the online
casinos that offer the method, see the aforementioned ones as
the best choice.
